SYMPTOMS

When you have the game set to use system time, the simulation may not use the
correct date and time.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur when you select a flight that was previously saved. The
flight time defaults to the time that the flight was saved. This occurs by
design.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this issue, do one of the following:

- Manually set the date and time to system time in the game.

  -or-

2. Point to Settings, and then click General.

3. Click "System time", and then click OK.
